You probably heard that Broad Group is planning to build world's tallest building in only 90 days. This was pushed back to 210 days or seven month.<br /><br />Sky City One, now renamed to J220 should be 838m tall skyscraper, 10m taller than current World's tallest, Burj Khalifa (828m). Also, J220 is planned to have 220 floors, filled with luxury apartments, low income housing along with retail and business space. J220 will be also earthquake resistant and have 31 high speed elevators.<br /><br />The most important info is that foundations should be laid this November, next month, and if everything goes well, new world's tallest building should be done by March 2013!<br /><br /><i>"It’s hard to say for sure that the 16-million-square-foot plan isn’t entirely a publicity stunt. But Zhang has hired some of the engineers who worked on the current height-record holder, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, and Broad has created two large models of “Sky City” (as the J220 has been nicknamed). The foundation is scheduled to be laid in November at a site in Hunan; if everything goes well, the building will be complete in March 2013."</i><br /><i>          -</i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Lauren Hilgers</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>This will be very interesting to watch!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wired.com/design/2012/09/broad-sustainable-building-instant-skyscraper/all/" target="_blank">You can read full interview by Lauren Hilgers here.</a><br /><br /><a href="http://architecturaldrawing.blogspot.com/search/label/Sky%20City" target="_blank">Read and watch more about the Sky City here. </a>

The construction of <a href="http://architecturaldrawing.blogspot.com/2012/06/56-leonard-street-by-herzog-de-meuron.html" target="_blank">56 Leonard Street</a> is continuing after years of big "nothing". Tribeca's tallest went out in 2007 and after successful construction start, work has been halted because of financial situation. This 250m (821ft) tall piece of modern architecture is designed by Herzog & De Meuron and it's known as one of the most beautiful skyscrapers going up in New York since Art Deco masterpieces back in '20s and '30s.<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br />For more info about this beauty, <a href="http://architecturaldrawing.blogspot.com/2012/06/56-leonard-street-by-herzog-de-meuron.html" target="_blank">check out our previous post with more photos and renderings</a>.<br /><br />New plan proposes restart of construction this December. Because of complexity of the structure, skyscraper should be done by 2016, which means, construction should take 4 years. Here's quote from <a href="http://tribecacitizen.com/2012/10/11/here-comes-the-jenga-building/" target="_blank">Tribeca Citizen</a> with exact plans:<br /><br />"<i>But the concern now is the impact of construction on the surrounding neighborhood. Committee chair Peter Braus called it “shocking” that construction will last four years, including nearly two years for the facade alone.</i><br /><i><br /></i><i>“It’s a very complicated structure,” said Tony DelGreco, a vice president of Lend Lease (formerly Bovis Lend Lease ) and the manager of the project.</i><br /><i><br /></i><i>DelGreco said that the first 10 floors will go slowly because of the large cantilevered apartments. </i><br /><i><br /></i><i>“When you get past the 46th floor that’s when you get all the cantilevers coming again and it slows us down again,” he said. “So this has an 18-month concrete schedule for that reason. It’s just a slower, methodical job. You have to go slow to get it right.”</i><br /><i><br /></i><i>DelGreco said construction will begin next week on the north side of the site where workers will begin the three-month job of chopping up the sidewalk and putting in utility vaults for Con Edison. It will take more than a year-and-a-half, beginning in December, to build the superstructure, with facade work to start next July. The building is scheduled for completion in Spring, 2016.</i>"<br /><br />In short:<br /><br /><br />• October–December 2012: Con Ed vaults and foundation remediation<br />• December 2012–August 2014: Superstructure<br />• November 2012–January 2016: Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and sprinklers<br />• July 2013–April 2015: Façade<br />• August 2013–January 2016: Interiors<br />• Completion: Spring 2016.<br /><br />Stay tuned, we will watch this one closely.<br /><br />Update: Workers returned on the site, <a href="http://architecturaldrawing.blogspot.com/2013/01/56-leonard-street-construction-update.html" target="_blank">first construction update in 2013.</a>

Designed by architect <a href="http://www.ramsa.com/index.html" target="_blank">Robert A.M. Stern</a>, the 912 foot (378m) tall building will serve as a bridge between the futuristic style of the <a href="http://architecturaldrawing.blogspot.com/2012/07/1-world-trade-center-by-skidmore-owings.html" target="_blank">1 World Trade Center</a> (former name Freedom Tower) and the classic Woolworth Building on the same block.<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br />"Sharing a city block with the Woolworth Building, Cass Gilbert's iconic 1913 skyscraper, and strategically located one block from the World Trade Center redevelopment site, the Four Seasons Downtown combines a 175-key five-star Four Seasons hotel with 143 top-end condominium apartments in a slender 80-story tower that will become an important landmark among the constellation of towers in Lower Manhattan.<br /><br />The hotel entrance on Barclay Street leads visitors into four floors of lobbies, lounges, restaurants, ballrooms, meeting facilities, and a spa and fitness center. The public rooms of the hotel face a through-block garden framed by a lower annex building that conceals building services and access to below-grade parking. A separate entrance and lobby on Park Place serves the residences.<br /><br />Amenities for the apartments are located on the twenty-ninth floor; the function rooms and fitness center open to exterior loggias. The limestone and cast stone shaft of the tower rises to a dramatic skyline profile of full-floor penthouses and setback terraces."<br />          -<span style="font-size: x-small;">Robert A.M.

As we heard from <a href="http://www.newyorkyimby.com/2012/09/renderings-released-for-105-west-57th.html">New York YIMBY</a>, Extell with Gary Barnett is preparing new residential skyscraper for Midtown, right next to Central Park.<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br />Just to remind you, Extell developed famous One57 tower down the block which is known for having the most expensive penthouse in New York City. It's their time now. This project is for now known as 105 West 57th Street, which is its location. Designers are architects from Cetra/Ruddy office, creators of skinny One Madison Park tower. Tower is proposed to reach 697ft (212m) with 51 floor.<br /><br />Every floor will house one apartment. New New York skyscraper will also have 14 duplexes and one quadraplex on top of the building. Also, expect a lot of balconies. Pretty good huh?

A few days ago, foundation work has ended and the crew is leaving the site. We're now waiting for new contractor to move in and start building towards the sky. In the meantime, prices regarding 432 Park Avenue went public.<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br />According to Wall Street Journal, price per square foot will be almost $ 6,000. What about the penthouse? Penthouse of 432 Park Avenue will hit the market asking $ 85 million. Don't forget it's located 396m (about 1,300ft) above Manhattan! We decided not to use words to describe what you can expect up there but use pictures instead.<br /><br />Here are 2 shots from Google Earth, from the position of future penthouse. This is the view someone will buy for $ 85 million! Also, we placed One57 in for comparison.

Foundations for the tower are done and rest of the site is almost ready to lift off. We heard from inside sources that by the end of the year, tower should be up to the street level. For those who forgot or didn't hear yet, 432 Park Avenue tower will become New York's tallest residential tower and one of the tallest in general. Skyscraper will grow to 426m (1398ft) with 89 fl offering incredible residences and Central Park views.<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br />Read more about <a href="http://architecturaldrawing.blogspot.com/2012/06/432-park-avenue-by-rafael-vinoly.html">432 Park Avenue designed by Rafael Vinoly</a> and take a look at floor plans and blueprints of what's gonna rise there.<br /><br /><a href="http://architecturaldrawing.blogspot.com/2012/12/432-park-avenue-floor-plans-and.html" target="_blank">Latest December construction update with set of floor plans.</a><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

The skyscrapers called Dancing Towers, because of their dynamic design, will house residences, retail and commercial spaces.<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br />"Dancing Towers, a project that is part of the new Yongsan International Business District YIBD development in Seoul, is a mixed used development that consists of three 41 story residential towers,( a total of 834 total residential units) with amenities, retail, parking and a connecting commercial podium base.<br /><br />The design for the Dancing Towers is inspired by the traditional Korean Buddhist Dance known as Seung-Moo. The subtle rotation of the towers creates the illusion they are dancing, as inspired by the long sleeves of the Seung-Moo dancer’s traditional costumes, gracefully propelled by the dancer’s movements. The towers are engineered with a unique structure of a central concrete core and alternating cantilevered fin walls to support the floors that create column free buildings that allow the forms to ‘dance’ and twist while opening up panoramic views from the apartment interiors.<br /><br />While creating an interrelated composition, the location of the three towers in the site and each tower’s rotations are oriented to create maximum light and views toward the water, the YIBD project, the city of Seoul and the mountains beyond for the residents."<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">          -Studio Daniel Libeskind  </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />Read more about <a href="http://architecturaldrawing.blogspot.com/search/label/Yongsan%20International%20Business%20District">Yongsan International Business District</a>, <a href="http://architecturaldrawing.blogspot.com/2012/06/triple-one-landmark-tower-by-renzo.html">Triple One Landmark Tower</a> and <a href="http://architecturaldrawing.blogspot.com/2012/07/dancing-dragons-by-adrian-smith-gordon.html">Dancing Dragons Towers</a><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
